I use bright LED’s that can last up to 50,000 hours (that’s about 5 years and 9 months of burning 24 hours a day!), more than eight times as long as CFLs. And, if you changed 3 incandescents to 3 LEDS, you would save about 3 THOUSAND pounds of CO2 per year; not 300, not to mention spending about 1/10th as much on electricity cost to light those same areas. …I’m just saying!

The new daylight version is terrific; I would never revert to incandescents. I save water by feeding old dish rinse water to the plants; they love it. I already have been turning thermostats down during the day when the sun heats up the house; also by five deg. whenever I leave the house to get groceries. At night, I set the temperature to 60 deg, if the outside T is above freezing. As appliances need replacement, I get energy savers (no bells or whistles). No air conditioning in this house; the trees take care of that; we also used ceiling fans in the two largest rooms.

I’m also holding a family meeting soon to talk about water conservation, energy, recycling and so forth. I’m a 100% vegan teenager who used to live in AK and my family is about 80% strict vegetarian. Thanks for doing all that you do!
